OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on March 2, 2011 at 4:19pm: soliz53 that is just too cool!!!

Comment by soliz53 on March 2, 2011 at 4:14pm: Well I will be wearing my dress blues. And my raincoat with the liner and my gloves as per my little brother. He told me if I got to go up to see him that he wanted me to wear my dress uniform.

Comment by diannep on March 2, 2011 at 3:25pm: kt: PIR will be inside.

Comment by frandrea<3 Ship 12.Div 93 on March 2, 2011 at 3:05pm: It looks like we're all going to be wearing essentially the same thing haha! :)

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on March 2, 2011 at 2:54pm: I am wearing an off white scarf I already had, it's one of those things I bought one day at Wal Mart and my SR was with me and he was like hurry LOL. So I have to wear the one I already have, I love it, I have had it for years, its been just about every where with me when it's cold, I do plan on washing it again before I take it with me LOL.

Comment by frandrea<3 Ship 12.Div 93 on March 2, 2011 at 2:54pm: I'm wearing jeans, boots, scarf, peacoat, and gloves too :) And it's so strange to be packing warm things, because it's 76* here every day now and I've been going to the beach like every other day! haha! :)

Comment by Ann-Marie(Proud Mom of Nick) on March 2, 2011 at 2:48pm: I know it sounds funny right? What are you wearing?.. but takes my mind of the wait. I bought one of those $7 scarves from amazon then read the discription and it is a flimsy costume avaitor scarf. What did other people buy? Should I rethink my choice?

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on March 2, 2011 at 2:44pm: I have a pair of Uggs but I don't want to wear them as they are hard to keep clean and I don't want to ruin them LOL. They were expensive.

The next few days are going to be nail bitting LOL

Comment by Hunters_Mom_12/092_MAA on March 2, 2011 at 2:31pm: diannep - That is so funny about the same wardrobe - black jeans, warm black flat boots (the Uggs - or well priced psuedo uggs arrived!). I do have a black/ gray dress suit as back up. Thought I would wear one of those to the meet and greet. All depends on the weather... It can be hot as hades and I wont complain, the opposite is true for the cold! LOL Hadn't given much thought to the sweater, do not have many of those either here in So. FL... Borrowing a nicer coat than I am arriving the night before in from my sis in law. HooYah!!!! I'm a Sailor call tomorrow please!!!

Comment by nikosmom ( CVN 70, Seaman ) on March 2, 2011 at 1:45pm: I have been to several PIR's and they are always inside, check out the pictures on recruit training command home page!
